Trees

The royalty of the plant kingdom are the trees. Rarely do we get to see a tree by itself, majestically standing tall in an open field or on a mountain side. Most of the time we notice individual leaves, branches and flowers, sometimes a wonderful shape in the trunk of a tree, where it solidly meets the ground, or soars into the sky, hopefully with some interesting clouds, but often with only pure blue sky in the background. Most of the trees you see here were found in central Missouri, in the center part of the United States of America.
